Telefunken Console Tube Receiver (stereo): $75

[pjanda1]

This is an interesting old thing.

Two SE channels drive the main speakers
A push pull channel is used for an aux speaker

Tuner: FM, AM, Short Wave I and II
Other inputs: Phono, Tape, Aux
Controls: Volume, Balance, Treble, Bass, and EQ presets.

I have tested the FM tuner through the console speakers, and both channels seem to work fine. The AM belts slip, so you can't tune a station, though that could be remedied. I haven't tried any other inputs. The jacks are unusual, but I have a couple of plugs that could fit them.

I have a complete schematic I will include.

Tube Complement:
(Euro numbering)
ECC 85
ECH 81
2X EF 89
EABC 80
6BH6
EM 84
ECC 83
4X ECL 86 (output tubes, 2 SE, 2 PP)

Anybody interested? As always, it is a project (or several) I just don't have time for.

I assume this is something for the Short Wave tuner:

Try ebay...just saw a Telefunken S-81 Mono tube amp go for $160. I actually have someone local selling their S-81 cheap (2 of them) -

There is a market for these old TF tube amps. Arn't TF tube like the "Bomb" of tubes? Everytime I see them on ebay they are ten times more expensive than all others...

Jeff,

For goodness sake don't post your email addy in format the the spam-bots can read! You can always PM someone, or at the very least write bob "at" bobmail "dot" c o m or something like that. I got to thinkin' about how many projects it might contain, and decided to hang on to it for the time being. I wasn't going to post again in the hopes of keeping it from clogging up the top of page. If I change my mind I'll post it again.
